Ben,
If you're going to claim that you are not biased towards Sen. Clinton, you have to stop doing what you did above: mentioning how Sen. Clinton did well in the SC poll, and then blithely adding that Sen. Obama's favorables are down, without giving the reason offered by the poll. Sen. Obama's favorable are down because his recognition jumped so high. Any politician whose recognition jumps THAT much is likely to have their favorables go down. Also, Sen. Clinton and Edwards had THEIR favorables go down too! Seriously, either come out as being in favor of Sen. Clinton, or don't submarine the other candidates. It's all we ask.

You must stop this twisting of fact to suit whatever anti-Obama agenda you have developed. Barack Obama went from an unusually high favorability of 82% a year ago to 63% now. Hillary went from 69 to 68%. His favorability is within any standard margin of error and likely equals hers. He was not running for president a year ago and therefore enjoyed the status of a non-candidate. What was Hillary's excuse for 69% a year ago. I don't know much about this polling firm but your argument is at best fallacious.

Fellow commenters? - I think you?ve got it wrong ? Our Ben hardly ever masks his penchant for Edwards. Just earlier today in an Obama video post his final comment was:
?Also a reminder that the politics/entertainment/celebrity complex is really going to be thrown for a loop when Edwards wins the nomination.?
I?d say the operative word in that sentence is ?when??..
Pay attention, he?s definitely an Edwards guy?

Obama is using his state experience because his supporters have urged him to. If Hillary gets credit for 'experience' by waving on good will tours for 8 years than why can't Obama use actual experience in elected office doing real legislation ? Or does this go against the msm storyline of making a characture of Obama like they did with Gore in 2000, while touting Hillary's non existent experience and allowing her to do only fluff interviews and building her up as the perfect candidate like they did with Bush in 2000.
The media stepping over the line, interfering and misusing their position to misinform people and push their agenda got our country into this mess. And the media bares as much responsibility for their behavior and having Bush end up in the white house.
People look to the news to inform them of facts and present the truth and not push their own bias. You let the country down playing these games. and concidering your trackrecord, I don't know why the msm is still thinking they can keep playing the same game.
People are sick to death of the favoritism for Hillary while constantly misinforming people and mischaracterizing senator Obama with snarky remarks and articles.
The msm should be ashamed of themselves for their behavior.
